[Players Chosen] Do You Have What It Takes To Join The Nameless Legion?

[Dakkareth]

So, here is what I would rule: you can take a class like assassin, but your character must also not have an Evil alignment when starting the legion. So, you could have been an assassin, and was mindwiped. But, since you are no longer "Evil", you can no longer level up in that class.

Works for me .

Harvey, for your ammusement, Shadow, my Rogueish character.I like her, not quite done with her yet, but I might like her better than Force (Which is saying a lot). Still need to pick out psionic powers, but I think she's fun.

Aaah, I will always have a soft spot in my heart for rogues... after having my second D&D character ever be a rogue that was squished to a pulp by a falling cinder block trap in a dungeon...

I've had a rethink and am dropping the Nycter, the benefits from the ECL just don't stack up with the losses in spellcasting and combat medic abilities. I'm doing a flyer though as I want to be able to fly-by-attack and hit buddies with healing, hopefully avoiding the AoO of those in close combat with the buddy. So am looking at air mephlings, raptorians and avariels at the mo. I'll work it up tonight and have it posted tomorrow.

Great! Just don't take the aarakocra... one of your bosses (probably Archon Lance) will be an aarakocra, and he is wicked! He's got the Aerial Avenger PrC from Dragon Magazine #319... which I would recommend to you Dazza if you want him to also be good in combat (as you level, your speed & maneuverability increase, as does your damage, because of momentum).

LOL, yeah, small wonder there is so much confusion about crafting in particular.

What I thought was cool was, in helping me make my decision, I went thru a bunch of rules postings on the Sudden feats on WotC and ENWorld's websites, and came across a poster named Thanee quite a few times

So the monster class level doesn't count like a 'normal' level when determining feats? Easy to miss and hard to understand, but if that's the case I'll have to change it of course ...

Faceless the former assassin wight? How there's a clever way to no longer level as an assassin! But what Bront says is true... form Libris Mortis: "undead monster classes do not grant a character skill points or Hit Dice at every level, nor do they grant a feat at every level". So, for a first level Wight taken at 12th level, you get 1d12 HD, (4 + Int Mod) x 4 Skill Points, and no feat. It's how they can get away with having undead monster classes without LA.

I've got a question for Harvey:
Can a Drow wizard take the elf wizard substitution levels from races of the wild?

Only if you call him a dark elf Sure, why not...

Also, thanks Rino for Thorin the Dwarf and Elocin for Krull the Goliath! I will add them to the submissions!

I already changed that in my write-up above earlier this afternoon - now Faceless only has the racial feat from the monster class and none for 12th level as in the version before. Deepens his Achilles Heel, but that's the price ...

Ok, Dark Elf it is. I may be working on this late tonight. Is the deadline midnight in a certain time zone?

Let's sat Friday at Noon EST (which I believe is 7:00 AM GMT). This way, there's a bit of play. I've blocked out Friday afternoon to start building up the lances, and hope to launch the campaign over the weekend, when I have the time to dedicate to the IC postings. The missions are already decided, but I still need time to proof all the characters!

So, looks like I'm also waiting on possible characters from Jemal, D20Dazza (a flier), and Ferrix, if he's still intersted...

Weekends are somewhat difficult for the time being for me to get online and post as a few of you know my house got flooded and I am currently staying at the in-laws house. So I have no access to any of my books or access to my computer. During the week I have no problems posting several times throughout the day but over the next couple of month’s weekends I will be absent, to a point.

Yup, know that from Retrievers That's OK, I was more referring to me having the time to write the first IC postings, which I envision will include introductions to the Legion base, etc. and be a lot more meatier than most posts.

I´ve tweaked Sir a bit, so he has less in common with Shackler, and added a portrait.

 

[ShaggySpellsword]

My name is Trick. Some of my people would think I did the unthinkable...allowing myself to forget the lives and the experiences I had...but I didn't forget the lessons that came with them. Never the lessons. My philosophy stuck: That by experiencing all things I can become the best thing. Some craft armors, molding powerful suits of protection out of raw ore. I am a master crafstman...and I am my master craftwork. I am ore that has been fired by my experiences and made into the best armor there is. As I forge and reforge myself time and time again I become better, stonger, and begin to take the perfect form. Confidance is what seperates me from all the others: I know what I can do, so I do those things: and I rarely fail. Like when I found myself in some Icy hell two months ago, seperated from my lance, fighting the leader of the enemy forces: I had confidance. If I had thought twice about rushing him across the icy debris strewn ledge, beating him unto submission and then forcing him to tell us the wherabouts of the Iron crown of Soarraven I wouldn't have succeeded. But I knew I would. I am the best and getting better all because I know the Trick to not failing...confidance.

Ok, I think all the Crunch on Shadow is done. I think I'm going to let Forces be my 3rd, and not sure who I like better, Shadow or ColdTac. They're both fun, so I'll keep it open. Honestly, all three would be fun though, so keep them all in mind. I'll finish ColdTac's Psionics tomorow, as well as Shadow's background.

BTW, we still need a ruling on the spell books, I'm sure that will effect at least one of us.
